Lincoln's Faith in the Common People.


The following passage occurs in Leonard
Swett's address at the unveiling OF the
Lincoln statue at Chicago on Saturday.
After speaking briefly OF the well-known
events that led to Liucoln's election to
the Presidency, Mr.. SWEET continued: II
believe he desired a second nomination, be-
cause that involved an approval by tho
common people, whom he always loved
and confided in, of the course which he had
taken, often in great doubt, during his first
administration. Yet he would do nothing.
and would all. " no friend to do anything
to get it. He looked with indifference over
the machinat tions against him in his cabinet
and with indifference over the Senate and
members OF Congress to the action Of the
common people as expressed in their pre-
liminary conventions, and resolutions Of
State legisla lures as

as though an electrical chord Of sympathy
extended from him to them. The sublime
and crowning characteristic OF Mr..
Lincoln however, was his self reliance.
During the eleven years l was with him at
the bar of this State, never knew him
to ask the advice of d friend about any
thing. During the four years Of his ad-
ministratiOn ! never knew, and never
heard OF his doing this. never knew him
in preparation for a trial, or the perplextty
OF it in court to turn to his associate and
ask his advice"
